Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VidAngel at 4.9 against BRAVE+'s 4.5. VidAngel also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (5.9K vs 520). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. VidAngel sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and BRAVE+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VidAngel holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VidAngel has 5.9K ratings behind it against 520, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of VidAngel's written reviews are positive against 58% of BRAVE+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VidAngel ships an update weekly, BRAVE+ monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
